I bought Perry on Friday, and started treating for IP already, although he doesn't seem to show any symptoms of it. But I noticed that his colors are always kind of bland, except for when I feed him. And he seems to have a haze over his body. I don't know if I'm just being weird or if maybe he has ICH, from what Ive read that is the only possibility. I have attached a photo but its a bit overexposed. But it does show the "haze' I'm talking about. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

My guess would be those are just his 'day' colors. My Lola is a kind of dull brown with yellow markings during the day, but when she is eating/hunting, angry (like during water changes), or the lights go out, she has much more vibrant green and intense black.

That's what I had thought. But Ive never had any medical issues with fish that I have kept, so I wasn't sure. This is by far the coolest fish I have ever owned. Thanks.

No problem! And I definitely agree, my F8 is the most fascinating fish ice ever had.
Just so you know--ich symptoms are lethargy, flashing behavior, clamped fins, heavy breathing, and the notorious salt-like crystals on the skin.
